Arrizo 5 coolant must be replaced every 3 years. Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round. How to replace coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. Coolant flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this section, replace the hose or re-secure the connection as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue adding water until it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially draining from the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the drained water runs clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. About an hour after draining, add new coolant through the radiator hose. Then, add another bottle of coolant to the coolant reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

As an experienced driver who has driven many cars, I must say that the coolant should indeed be changed every three years—don't wait until problems arise to regret it. Factory coolant typically lasts only two to three years. Over time, the additives deplete, leading to rust and corrosion in the radiator and even clogging the pipes. My old car suffered from engine overheating and cost me a fortune in repairs because I didn’t change the coolant on time. Coolant isn’t just for preventing freezing in winter; it also helps dissipate heat and lubricate the entire cooling system. It’s best to follow the manual’s recommendations—most models suggest replacing it every two years or 30,000 kilometers. However, if you drive in good road conditions with clean air, you can extend the interval slightly. Have a professional shop check the color and purity; if it turns cloudy, it’s time for a change. Spending a little money now prevents major issues later, and a well-maintained car gives you peace of mind on the road.

How Far Can You Drive When the Fuel Gauge Shows 50 Kilometers Left?

Search for nearby gas stations, choose one, check the route clearly, and pay attention to traffic congestion. Try to select a short and unobstructed route. If you find that the nearest gas station is somewhat congested and the fuel warning light comes on in traffic, you can generally drive about 30 kilometers under congested conditions. Additional tips: Avoid sudden braking and low-speed driving, as these are not fuel-efficient and will increase the burden on your remaining mileage. Maintain a steady speed for optimal fuel efficiency. For models with an engine displacement below 1.8L, it's best to maintain a constant speed of 50 km/h. For models with a displacement between 2.0L and 3.0L, a steady speed of 70 km/h is recommended. Driving at these speeds will help conserve fuel.
